[@Robster-Craw]

Back in the 80s when I was in middle school. In P.E. we had 3 v 3 cut throat day. And I'm terrible at basketball and no one picked me. I ended up on a team of kids no one wanted to pick. And it was because of me that we won our games with shots that I wish were caught on video. 2 times in a row I had the ball and my team was completely covered so I tried to get closer to the hoop. Well because I had no skills I tripped over my own feet. But as I was falling and nearly parallel with the floor I threw up a desperate hook shot and got swish shots 2x and on the 3rd possession I was able to pass the ball and then the kid shot and it bounced right back to me off the rim and I tossed it up backwards over my head and banked it in. We won the game and the mini tournament. We got to choose the next game we played and got popsicles. It was so awesome.
